Shelling Out A Non-Scripted Review On Shell Scripting

This is a great book.

I have been using Linux shell scripts for about 16 years, but this book helped get some expert recipes.

I enjoyed learning some new tricks, and found it super useful for my own uses.

Definitely recommend checking out this book if you too want to improve your shell scripting expertise.

4.8/5

Well written recipes for simple clustering and high availability, simple cgi scripting with GET and POST requests, file manipulation and processes locking. Steve parker knows how to approach such uneasy system administration area with clear elaboration and smooth categorization
